Vexing Conundrum, crusader against evil ubiquitous vegetable gums, destroyers of all that is right and good in food; foe of insidious snobs; devotee of Knorr's spinach veg dip and bread bowl.
Location:
Arlington, VA; "the ragamuffin, drunken people and psychotics are forbidden to enter the Tower." (#1) or those "carrying baleful biology." (#6) http://www.engrish.com/2009/11/entering-the-tower/
Dover Sole in La Trattoria dei Pescatori, at 57 Charlotte Street, London
My current drink of choice:
Russian River Valley chard
I really wish I could:
fly, be invisible, read minds (really?), sing in a rock band, tour the globe First Class, eat lots of lobster, crab imperial, fried shrimp and shrimp cocktail, beef Wellington, bearnaise sauce, and smoked baby back ribs (WITHOUT gaining weight) -- oh, and help all the little children, and bring world peace (which would involve, at a minimum, total elimination of evil, ubiquitous vegetable gums in all food products!)
My "Go-to" dinner party dish:
Tuscan Beef Stew
My favorite comfort food:
my mom's biscuits with my sausage gravy (i use milk), or grits and fried eggs for breakfast -- any other time, smoked baby back ribs alone or with bourbon bbq glaze! Wok charred fresh rice noodles in Pad Kee Mao with minced chicken and Som Tum. also, chicken tikka masala and saag.
